What Happened

Risk if Unfixed

If these sensors fail, the air bags might not deploy in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Toyota will contact you and replace the sensors for free, starting March 12, 2018. Dealers will check the serial numbers and make the necessary repairs.
